Maybe so... but there has to be some middle ground between "perfect" and 240 lb.

Yeah I've wondred about that too. You'd think somebody who spends a lot of time swimming would be in good shape. And indeed, when the Dallas kids were taking lots of swimming lessons a few years back, all the instructors (maybe 3/4 of whom also doubled as life guards) had roughly the build you'd expect.
Except one. She was portly, no getting around it. It did seem odd. But she was a good swimmer, and a good swimming teacher, with a good rapport with the students (including grownups--I signed up for an adult swimming class one summer and she turned out to be the instructor).
